Designing an Inclusive Olympics in 2028

AIA Los Angeles welcomes the Olympics in 2028 and sees the event as a catalyst to promote the Los Angeles region as a world-class destination. As we begin to strategically plan for the capital improvement projects that will ensure our city is prepared, we have a monumental opportunity to critical design-thinking protocols. How do we ensure greater business inclusion and cultural diversity as it relates to procurement, project delivery and the professional service providers that will prepare our region to become a place for all nations to enjoy during the 2028 Olympics? How do we accommodate for the changes that we will need make in order to cultivate a more beautiful, safer and more functional public realm without displacing existing communities? How do we shape the legacy of the 2028 Olympics so that future generations of Angelenos will continue to feel the benefits for decades to come?
